Black Pearl Bites the Big One

Gordon Ramsay may have turned Purnima around (at least by his own account), but not so with Black Pearl, the clam bar that was shown to be in a deep sea of debt on Kitchen Nightmares last Thursday. As of today it’ll no longer be serving lobster rolls that are like “eating a dirty diaper,” or anything else for that matter, because it’s closing. Not exactly a surprise that the owners sold the joint since, per a rundown of the episode, their hearts just weren’t in it. And so, for better or worse, we take one off the lobster-roll list.
